Almost every family in America or England buys at least one copy of a newspaper each day.Some
people buy as many as two or three different papers.
Why do people read newspapers? Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns,
in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place
in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago news took months or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often
passed from one person to another and never entirely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than
just what happened m our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or
concerts we can go to, we can look in the newspapers.
